This is an excellent tire. Wet or dry conditions make no difference this keeps traction ! In the corners you can hit it hard with confidence. If you want it to break loose it is very predictable.Mileage you get is not as long as I would like 5200 miles is my average. Mostly I have to ride on straight roads which means the center gets most of the wear. More twisty conditions should give it more mileage.Overall I feel safe riding with these tires. To me that is #1 ;)

I put this tire on the rear of my 2003 Honda Nighthawk 750. I don't ride very aggressively at all. I got less than 4,000 miles out of the tire before you could see the cords in the center of the tread. It sticks very well but is not economical at all.

I bought a pair of these in 2014 for $215 for my old Honda 400 which makes under 50 HP. About 1700 miles later the front is holding up okay with about 1/2 of the new tread (2.5mm). The rear has very little tread in the middle and under 1/2 tread left (2.5mm-3mm). This will put me at about 3k miles total until they will need replacement. On a bike with such little power, I would expect a lot more. Pirelli told me over the phone to expect 5k-8k. It looks like they were right...but it will take two sets. I'm still hoping that Dunlop with make their Q3 in a 110/140 combo. On a positive note, they don't provide the feedback of Dunlops, but they are a lot better than Bridgestones or Michelins.
